If you can't find the templates as per @Viorel recommendation and need a C# windows form template for .NET Framework 4.8 (or earlier) or windows forms C# .NET Core, C#9 see my template repository on GitHub.
To installed a template, from Visual Studio menu, project, select export project template, check project template then follow the prompts. Once done the template will be available.
To use, select create new project, in the search text box, enter the name of the project just installed. Once found select it and provide a name. The template is now available for any Visual Studio solution.
